Stairs near FNCC under construction

Over the weekend work began to replace the outdoor staircase beside the Fred Nichols Campus Centre.

โ€œ[The stairs] were in very bad shape, it was getting to be a tripping hazard, and it wouldโ€™ve been particularly dangerous in the winter months,โ€ said Mark Dettweiler, director of planning, design and contruction at WLU.

โ€œIt got to the point where would either have to close them off for the winter or repair them, and we chose to repair them.โ€

According to Dettweiler, the university is hopeful the project will be finished within a month. However he also mentioned that weather at this time of year could cause delays.
